Dragon Ball Super’s anime adaptation ended over 5 years in the past, and although the franchise has been saved alive with varied video games, movies, and an online sequence, there hasn’t had a correct mainline anime installment since. Fortuitously, that’s about to vary in an enormous manner with the discharge of Dragon Ball Daima.
Billed as an authentic story from sequence creator Akira Toriyama, Daima will see Goku and different Z warriors like Piccolo, Vegeta, and Bulma (and far of their prolonged supporting solid) de-aged to younger children due to a mysterious villain utilizing the Dragon Balls. Longtime franchise followers might bear in mind this being just like the premise of Dragon Ball GT, the anime-exclusive sequel to Dragon Ball Z again in 1996. Whether or not Daima will carry over something from that present is unclear, however it’s a little bit meta, on condition that your entire Dragon Ball enterprise might be turning 40 years previous subsequent yr when the sequence hits.
Throughout Daima’s reveal at Toei Animation’s New York Comedian-Con panel, govt producer Akio Iyoku teased that Toriyama deliberate “completely new episodes” for the storyline. Typically, the creator was stated to be “deeply concerned” past his regular capability of sketching out the broad story and character designs. Notably, the present might be a return to 2D after the CG/3D fusion model of final yr’s Dragon Ball Tremendous: Tremendous Hero movie. Fortuitously, it doesn’t seem like the sequence’ basic spirit or beautiful visuals have been misplaced in any respect within the transition.
Dragon Ball Daima will launch in fall 2024.
